FarmConnect Supplies Solutions
FarmConnect was founded on the premise that providing agricultural supply solutions to the marketplace will create value for both buyers and sellers.
We are an alliance of 650 of the most progressive crop and livestock producers in
Minnesota. Together, FarmConnect members manage hundreds of thousands of acres of North America's most productive farmland on which they produce a wide variety of crops and livestock. Our agricultural
knowledge and experience is our greatest asset, and our number one goal is to provide you, our customer, with the agricultural product solutions that will improve the profitability of your business.
Win-Win Solution for a Changing Marketplace
FarmConnect farmers understand that they need to shift away from their traditional role as producers of undifferentiated bulk commodities, and work to
become suppliers of specific products. They also understand that quality truly starts on the farm. Until now, the connection between farmers and the
food industry has been missing, preventing the food industry from achieving productivity and quality gains.
FarmConnect not only provides a system for us as producers to identify these changing market opportunities, but more importantly, FarmConnect provides
a convenient way for you to identify farmers who can produce the type, quality, and quantity of products you need to be competitive.
The result is a win-win solution. For farmers, FarmConnect means
improved profitability through production of higher value, 'made to order' products for the marketplace. For buyers, FarmConnect means an
extremely simple and effective way to access a reliable supply of exactly the quality and quantity of product desired.
FarmConnect Identifies and Meets Specific Needs
At FarmConnect, we specialize in supplying crop and livestock products that
posses specific traits or characteristics for specific uses.
A few examples of the types of products we can provide:
- Identity preserved and/or certified crops and livestock
- Crops and livestock with specific traits for particular uses
- Organically produced crop and livestock products
- Non-traditional and/or ethnic products
- Non-commodity agricultural products that are difficult to source through conventional channels.
FarmConnect can help you identify production capabilities and availabilities, and assist in the logistics and quality/quantity assurance of delivering specific products.
We want to partner with you to help you meet your sp ecific production
goals, such as:
- Improved product quality
- Improved processing efficiency
- Faster turn-around time
- Expanded product offerings
One-Stop Procurement Shop
Numerous systems exist for procurement of commodity crops and livestock. However, procurement of specific trait/non-commodity crops and livestock
can be extremely difficult and frustrating. Most buyers are not equipped to coordinate production and delivery with dozens or hundreds of farmers. FarmConnect simplifies the procurement process. It is a 'one-stop
procurement shop,' helping you get exactly what you need when you need it.
"As a FarmConnect producer, my goal is to work
with you to identify and produce the product
that works best for your particular need."
